The War with Grandpoa

The War with Grandpa Book Review Have you ever been in a situation where someone took something you love? In the story The War with Grandpa, Peter the main character losses his room to his grandpa. In the book Peter writes a story for school when grandpa comes to live with them. When grandpa comes he gets Peter's room. Peter never felt worse before. He couldn't believe his own parents would give his room to his grandpa. So Peter started a war with him. During the war Peter and his grandpa played some mean tricks on each other. On time Peter took Grandpa's false teeth. With out his teeth grandpa sounded really funny. Something else was Grandpa took and hid Peter's school supplies. Then Peter had to go around the house looking for his supplies and was late for school. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to cry and laugh. This book gets a 4 and half stars. Robert Kimmle Smith explains the book very well. He also tells the struggle Peter had to go through. Now I could tell why they call it The War with Grandpa.

Hillary J.-Everett School (3rd Grader)

The War With Grandpa is a wonderful book. It's about a kid named Peter Stokes who is delighted when his sister, Jenny, tells him that his Grandpa Jack is coming to live with them. But, his smile turns into a frown when he's forced out of his bedroom onto the stinky 3rd floor, so Grandpa can sleep in Peter's room. Peter's so mad he (thinks) he has no choice but to go to war over the room.His friends think should do gorilla warfare, but Peter has a different idea,. ( so, does Grandpa.) It's funny, interesting and makes you eager to turn the page. I'd give it 5 stars. Peter has a wonderful relationship with his grandfather, will that last?

The War With Grandpa

This is a great book! The War with Grandpa has a lot of dialogue which makes it funny. It is an exciting book. It grabs you a lot.This book is about when Jenny, Peter's sister, tells him that their Grandpa Jack is coming to live with them because he is lonely since Grandma died from emphysema. Peter has to loose his room because Grandpa's leg hurts and he cannot go up the stairs. Peter does not want to loose his room, so he asks his friends for advice. Peter's friends tell Peter to do guerilla warfare with his grandpa. Peter tries doing funny tricks on him which he thinks are nasty. Peter wants his room back so badly, but will he ever get his room back?

The War With Grandpa

WOW! this book is very good. I would recommend this book to people that love their room because the main character, Peter, does. His grandpa came to live with Peter and his family because his wife died and he was all alone. He sold his house down in Florida and came to live with them. Peter's mom and dad gave Grandpa Peter's room. Peter did some stupid stuff, like getting into guerilla warfare with his grandpa to get his room back. I think that is weird, but he did like his grandpa. You'll have to read the book to find out whether Peter gets his room back or not.

I love this book.

I liked when grandpa played the trick on Peter that Peter had to go looking for all his things. My favorite character was grandpa he was very funny and very tricky.I also liked Jennifer.
